Sesame Street Ruined my life! And his, and hers, and ....yours??

This TIMES article came just in time.

Because two Sundays ago my very own PASTOR reminded us from the pulpit about the vintage Sesame Street Grover "NEAR!......far!......NEAR!.....far!" As he darted around the stage, and set forth a renewed nostalgia for that childhood Street where Snuffy lived.

That got me thinking back to when I watched "vintage" Sesame Street and it made me become a vegetarian when they made it a point to tell me that "Chicken" comes from well..."Chickens!"
My animal-loving 3 year old self couldn't do that to our feathered friends, and I have had an aversion to chicken on the bone ever since.

Poor beasts.

Seems now, the entire world's eyes have been opened to what my 3 year old ones saw so very long ago....

But you know, maybe that means that today's babies are doomed, cause they'll never know the truth about Chicken, and will never ever learn about "NEAR vs. far..."

I say, let them know the truth!!!! And let BIG BIRD give it to them!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry, Sesame Street is still going strong...new episodes every morning on PBS! And many of the same people characters from when we were kids, like Luis and Maria and Gordon...just a little older. :o) Harper loves it!
